He is just not eating and losing so much weight! I'm giving hime Ensure and whatever else he might eat but it's just

Prostate cancer radiotherapy side effects.
I’m a seventy seven year old who had a radical prostatectomy eight years ago. Following one of my regular PSA tests the result showed, after scans in September 2023, a return in the prostate bed and adjacent lymph nodes. Began hormone implants straight away followed by twenty doses of targeted radiotherapy

Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

My dears, after RP (Gleason 7, 4+3, infected 3 lymph nodes) and lymphadetectomy, radiation and hormone therapy for 39 months, my oncologist took me off hormone therapy with the recommendation of PSA control every 3 months. The last three PSA readings (every three months) were 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00, I expect

What does it mean?
I'm slightly embarrassed to be asking strangers on the internet, but I'm a little frustrated by the lack of information given by the doctors. My dad (63) just got diagnosed - Gleason score 8 - and after a new scan they've concluded there's two mets - one in the pelvic lymph node and one in the seminal

How do you know if you're developing cysts?
I've just been diagnosed with PCOS with a low SHBG, <12 follicles in both ovaries, normal FAI and ovaries are normal size and volume.I just had a few questions... What does the amount of follicles mean? Are this mini cysts? How do you know if a cyst is growing? Is painful and is there any way of reducing

Lynparza - warning!
I'm writing this in pure agony in hopes, that it might help someone in the future. My father is castrate resistant and when Xtandi stopped working, his MO put him on dexamethasone + abiraterone + Lynparza (olaparib). This combo is now registered in European Union even for men without BRCA mutation

Radiation Treatment for Gleason 8 with Rectal Lymph Node
(
ADT
?) Then Radiation? What kind of treatment? Whole Pelvis Hypofractionated? SBRT? IMRT? Proton? Brachytherapy? Triplet Therapy? SpaceOar to protect rectum? How many treatments? When will we know if it is effective? How is that measured? Side effects to expect? Duration?

non hormonal suggestions
hi! I was diagnosed with endo in 2019, avoided any hormonal treatment until last year due to past experiences of the pill. March last yr I went for a private fertility check and they said my endo looked worse and was now also adenomyosis. Suggestion was a mirena coil to stop periods. I went for

High TSH and High T4

what is the role of a MO?
I’ve had RP, recurrence,
ADT
, salvage radiation. No one has ever referenced involvement by MO at any stage and RO seems to suggest he’ll handle it all if PSA rises. Is MO a “last ditch” team member? I know nothing about their role. Not itching to see a doc I don’t need, merely seeking info.

came off all hormones completely?
Hi I have woken up in unbareable pain this morning and I have been taken off zoladex at the start of the month, and my body has been having hormones in since April 2023 and now I have nothing at all. The gyni said she was going to put me in for a MRI as the pain is in is always the same and it never

When to start ADT, Salvage radiation or both for BCR after PSMA Petscan shows nothing?
Post RRP in 2009 and now having BCR with PSA rising to .20 over the last couple years, I was offered and opted for a PSMA Petscan to see if there was an identifiable spot of recurrence that could be treated early. The PSMA scan came back with no indication of the PSA source, so now I am wondering about

ADT Emotional Lability Do Antidepressants Help?
Dear All, I’m dealing with the emotional lability of
ADT
and was wondering if Antidepressants helped? Just curious about others experiences. I have tried escitalopram but was deathly nauseous 3 days in and stopped taking it and haven’t tried anything else. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Dutasteride (Advodart) as an Alternative to ADT in Salvage RT Setting?
The
ADT
seems to buy a very moderate amount of extra time before metastases occurs but I've yet to find clear data that the addition of
ADT
significantly increases the probability that SRT is curative. The side effects of
ADT
are pretty harsh.
